Boinc multiple gpu8/24/2023 ![]() If a breaker trips on a regular basis, REDUCE THE LOAD. Monitor ambient temps using a thermometer (IR thermometers can be used to monitor CPU sockets, boards, chips, and other devices)ĭo be mindful of breaker or fusing limits. Using software (Windows) to manual control or monitor GPU temps or adjust GPU fan, such as ATI’s Catalyst control center, Nvidia control panel, Trixx(ATI), MSI Afterburner (ATI & Nvidia), or EVGA Precision-X (Nvidia) PWM fans can ramp up/down based on heat, minimum duty cycles can be specified on some motherboards. Use larger coolers to dissipate more heat If not using a case (naked) do use stand offs to suspend board off of any broad surfaces You want a good flow over top and bottom of board. Position these fans to the edge of the board. To reduce the chances of burning board connectors or melting wires:Īvoid EPS splitters to power motherboardsĮnsure any surge protector has a least 12ga wire when running multiple machines from one surge stripĭo not ever plug a surge bar into another surge barĪvoid any light gauge cables, especially on high-draw applicationsĪlways ensure you have air flow over and under motherboard. Reputable brands such as Corsair, Antec, BeQuiet or Seasonic have proven to operate at high loads for long periods of timeĢ. Power supply with higher 80 plus rating will provide lowest cost of operation, as well as produce less heatįrom highest(most efficient) to lowest(least efficient): 80+ Titanium, 80+ Platinum, 80+ Gold, 80+ Silver, 80+ Bronze, and 80+ Just be aware that using 0.25 as the app is written will run 4 tasks at one time on the gpu, changing it to 0.50 will run 2 tasks at a time and using 0.Cooling and power best practices for distributed computing projects Maybe I'll get motivated & experiment with all configurations, myself, but maybe not. Anyone want to throw out a recommendation on running single WUs versus doubles or triples on this thing? On a related note, I picked up an RTX A2000 for fun this summer to see what the little thing could accomplish. for the concurrency recommendation on the RTX 2080. It seems to me that you are doing alot better than I am as far as credit goes!! While these are you numbers running 4 at a Separation v1.46 (opencl_nvidia_101) I also have a 1050Ti but only running a single task at a time and these are my Separation v1.46 (opencl_nvidia_101) Now I'm just waiting to see what a difference the extrra gpu brings to the system. I then went to the app_config file and changed it to this and I'm running 16 wu's on cpu and 4 wu's on each of the gpus. Well, after several reboots and no edits to the bios, it started showing up in Boinc, as though nothing happened. In my HP rig with the Ryzen7 4700G, I was just running the gpu built in and decided since I had this GTX1050TI laying around I would throw it in and see what would happen. Just thought I would throw something out there that surprised me a little bit. Looks like the RAC is going up, how much, just have to wait and see if it is worth it. The amd gpu being part of the cpu, iit is running at about 76c and the 1050ti is running at 54c. Still, I'm running it under boinc at 85% of the time. My cpu is running at about 87c and the Tj Max on it is 95c. The 1050ti wu's take about 27 minutes a piece and the amd tasks are taking about 19 minutes. Haven't had a problem so far getting enough tasks. ![]() As long as you have sufficient cooling for that thing then getting it revved up shouldn't be a bad thing but if you have to wait for tasks, I know you are running the special MW version of Boinc, then the heat up and cool down cycling could kill that thing. No problem, but there could be a problem if the Project can't supply you with enough tasks to keep that thing running consistently on MW tasks, then it might just be an exercise in hot and cold episodesįor the gpu. I thought I would have to fix something in the bios, but there wasn't anything I was just very surprised that I didn't have to do anything special to set it up. I'll let you know when I check in on it later. I've just left it alone so it can settle down and determine just how long it will Whether it's worth running 4 tasks or not, I'll know in a while.
